Mr Whipped (2/9), Irish Prophecy (1/1), Ashkoul (10/3), Windspiel (66/1)

Verdict

A small field but no less interesting with three candidates who could all be seen as possible winners. The suggestion on his hurdling debut is MR WHIPPED. Nicky Henderson's four-year-old is well-related, acts with cut in the ground and will be well prepared for this rules debut, so he is suggested. Ashkoul has plenty of racecourse experience on the Flat and is another who will be well schooled and acts on softer ground, so he is a danger. Dual bumper winner Irish Prophecy clearly goes well when fresh and possesses ability and he is not taken on lightly.
  1. Mr Whipped
  2. Ashkoul
  3. Irish Prophecy
